Berlin: How does tattoo removal work?
Each tattoo consists of individual color pigments that are applied to the skin in several layers during the tattooing process. These are so large that the body cannot break them down on its own. For tattoo removal, our experts in Berlin use a special laser that heats the color pigments in the skin. This causes them to break down into smaller particles, which are then collected and excreted by the body’s immune system.
Depending on the intensity and thickness of the tattoo, several sessions may be necessary to remove it completely. In the vast majority of cases, between five and ten sessions are required in our practice in Berlin for complete tattoo removal. Although it is theoretically possible to shorten the treatment period, this greatly increases the risk of scarring, which is why we advise our patients to have more sessions and be patient. Hand-punctured tattoos are usually easier to remove than professional tattoos, as they tend to be anchored in the upper layers of the skin and therefore disappear more easily. As every tattoo is unique, tattoo removal in our practice in Berlin is also a personal experience. In the vast majority of cases, the entire tattoo can be treated in one session.
Tattoo removal in Berlin: an overview
Procedure
Before tattoo removal in Berlin, we recommend removing hair from the area. No make-up or other cosmetics should be used. We also recommend avoiding direct sunbathing and visits to the solarium for around two weeks before and after removal. The tattoo is first disinfected. During the treatment, the patient is given protective goggles to prevent damage to the eyes. Depending on the size of the tattoo, a session lasts between 10 and 30 minutes. Immediately afterwards, the area is cooled with cooling pads and a moisturizing cream is applied. Finally, the area is covered with a bandage.
After tattoo removal in Berlin, the tattoo usually swells a little, but this swelling goes away after a maximum of 5 days. There may also be slight bleeding and blistering. Scabs should not be removed so that the wound can heal optimally. If the areas are open, you should make sure that no dirt, sweat or shower water comes into contact with the wound. Particular care should therefore be taken when showering. We also recommend an antiseptic wound cream and the use of pH-neutral soap for cleaning. Itching can also occur, but this should not be indulged in so as not to hinder regeneration. The next session should be carried out six to eight weeks after the treatment.
Durability
During laser tattoo removal in our practice in Berlin, the tattoo is completely removed and the change is therefore permanent. Depending on the thickness and size of the tattoo, the entire process can take a good year until the last remnants of the tattoo have disappeared.
Pain
Tattoo removal is carried out by doctors in our practice in Berlin. Nevertheless, there may be slight pain, especially after the treatment. However, this disappears on its own and can be treated well with conventional painkillers and cooling compresses.
Results
With each tattoo removal session, the color particles dissolved in the skin are gradually dissolved. The exact duration of the entire treatment in our practice in Berlin varies depending on the tattoo and is therefore difficult to give as a general rule. Intensive tattoos may require up to 10 sessions, but in some cases four sessions are sufficient. With regeneration breaks in between, such a process can take some time. We advise patience, as quick results, as often promised by dubious providers, often lead to scarring and encapsulation of the pigments, which makes further removal very difficult.
FAQ
1.
When will I see the first results?
The colors of the tattoo become slightly fainter after each tattoo removal session in our practice in Berlin, as the particles are dissolved bit by bit. How quickly and how much the tattoo disappears depends on many factors, such as the depth of the particles introduced and the size.
2.
Is the treatment suitable for everyone?
Laser treatment is suitable for all skin types and is a gentle way to remove tattoos. At our practice in Berlin, our experts will be happy to take care of you and adjust the strength of the laser so that the tattoo is removed gently and no residues such as scars remain. Darker skin types can also be treated with the laser.
3.
What should I look out for after the treatment?
Following the treatment in our practice in Berlin, there may be slight swelling and redness. However, this will go away on its own after a few days. In rare cases, bleeding or blistering may also occur after the tattoo removal treatment. The resulting scab should not be removed so that the wound can heal properly and no scars form. If the areas open up, dirt or shower water should not get into them. We recommend using pH-neutral soap and antiseptic wound cream. Direct sunlight should be avoided for the first two weeks, this also applies to visiting a solarium.
4.
Which areas of the body can be treated?
The laser can be used flexibly and is suitable for tattoo removal on the entire body. The experienced team at our practice in Berlin will be happy to take care of you and we will discuss your wishes with you in advance. Whether on the arm, stomach or leg: the laser makes your tattoo disappear so that your natural skin is revealed again. Tattoos on the wrist or face can also be gently removed using the laser. Large tattoos, such as on the back or chest, can also be treated.
5.
What are the advantages compared to other methods?
Laser treatment is very gentle and, if carried out correctly, leaves no scars. Other options, such as the removal of skin layers using chemical or mechanical methods, can lead to scarring, which can result in the encapsulation of color pigments. With tattoo removal in our practice in Berlin, the risk of scarring is very low as it is carried out by doctors. However, we advise all patients to be patient, as laser removal takes some time.
5.
How expensive is tattoo removal?
The exact price depends on the size of the tattoo and the intensity of the color. This determines the number of sessions required to make the tattoo disappear completely. We will discuss your questions with you in advance and inform you of the estimated price of your tattoo removal in Berlin.
